Alternative design for hotel/condo project leaves Sun Merc intact

While visiting the online Skyscraper Forum, a Phoenix resident found renderings of architect Will Bruder’s proposed design for the W Hotel and condo project.  One view looks southeast along Jefferson Street between US Airways Center on the west and Suns parking garage on the east (where you can get an inkling of how the back of the building cantilever’s over the Sun Mercantile Building).  A second view shows how the physical integrity of the historic structure is protected to a greater extent.
